Bad news guys, my monitor has shit itself and died. My new computer still works perfectly but the monitor doesn't seem to want to take any power. Have tried different power cables and the green "on" LED flashes up but nothing happens on screen, not even a "No signal" warning.

Has anyone got any advice?

I do have a spare at home but it is unlikely I am going to get hold of it until the 22nd of December.

1) Place the monitor on the floor, away from any other valuable equipment that could interfere with it
2) If you are in a small room, place the monitor in the middle, where it can be seen from the (open) door
3) Walk out of the room, then turn to face the monitor
4) Take a small run up
5) Give the monitor a good kicking

repeat 3, 4 and 5 until you feel better

No idea about the monitor thing though, moody data cable maybe?

Update: 5 minutes after posting that I somehow managed to get it working without junta's (not even sarcasticly saying this) fantastic advice (I hate my monitor)

Will try my best to keep it going, even if it means not turning it off for 12 days.

Should be around for bunderlambs tonight Hizfag.

Sounds like either the data cable, or the back light thingy. Possably the graphics card.

If you have a monitor with VGA and DVI inputs, and a graphics card with the same outputs, then you could try seeing if changing the cable makes any difference.

Alternativly, try plugging the monitor into another PC and see if it works.

If the monitor works fine on another computer then it could possably just be a gremlin. A glitch that will come and go every so often. Not alot you can do until the thing breaks full time. But anyway, if the monitor is fine on every other PC but glitchy on yours, then it could be the graphics card.

If it's built in, then ouch. Time to ask Santa for a nice new card. Tell him you've been a good boy, and that Ripsaw will vouch for you on that one.

If it's in an AGP or PCI-E slot then try re-seating the card. Simply pop it out. Blast the socket with the commpressed air duster to make sure the socket is clear of gunk. Make sure the card's plug is grime, grease or corrosion free. I don't think copper oxide can conduct electricity. Then plug it back together and see if you get lucky.

If no joy, try the Junta methord Smiley

But as the thing is working, DON'T TOUCH IT!


Good Luck Cheesy

Thanks Rip, though I'm pretty sure it isn't my computer or graphics card. If my monitor isn't connected it will come up with a "NO SIGNAL" message on screen, followed by the monitor logo. That isn't happening, instead I just get darkness and a flashing LED.

Junta - Tried kicking it?

An EPOS till you say? Have you called the highly trained artisans on the help desk? Smiley

As regards the monitor, well the pin that looks for a connected devise is working then. So it could be the signal processor that's got a glitch. Fingers crossed that it continues to work for you Tommy.

Better still would be to drop it from a great height.... and enjoy the *bang* (assuming its a CRT monitor Wink)
